"Dinoshark" being a SyFy movie ought to say it all; another wonderful movie with a monstrous creature, fantastic effects to make you laugh, and a plot that would sink faster than a rock.
Sure enough, "Dinoshark" is another of SyFy's distinct trademark killer monster movies. But luckily, it is one of their better ones. Now, there are far better movies available, but as for SyFy movies goes, then "Dinoshark" is definitely a movie worth watching.
The effects in the movie were decent enough, though at times painstakingly fake to look at. The design of the dinoshark was actually pretty good. I liked it, despite the fact that it had a tongue for some reason.
And speaking of the dinoshark, a direct explosion to the side of the creature from a hand grenade did nothing more than injure it, but a thrown harpoon to the eye killed it? Yeah, alright, let's just say that is possible.
For a SyFy movie, then the acting is as to be expected, good without being on the level of award-winning. Oddly enough, the performance Eric Balfour (playing Trace McGraw) did in this movie was better than his performance in "Skyline", which was of a whole other budget range. Tch tch...
I was thoroughly entertained throughout the movie, and as always with these types of movies, there is a small handful of main characters and a whole bunch of insignificant ones that are just there to be eaten by the over-sized creature. But hey, that is what we have come to expect from these movies.
Now, is it just me, but was the ending the exact same scenes as the beginning? And if they were, then what was up with that? That would make it the lamest ending in SyFy history.
